� In January 2021, Ultraviolette Automotive Pvt. Ltd announced it would soon be launching electric sports bikes in India. This bike features a connectivity feature, which includes bike overview, location, performance tuning, remote diagnostics, ride history, and analysis.

Europe Expected to Lead the Market

Europe is anticipated to hold the major share in the two-wheeler connectivity systems market over the forecast period. A total of 949,400 motorcycles were registered in the main European markets in 2021, compared to 880,700 units in 2020.

Germany, France, and Italy are witnessing an increasing number of startups and established conventional motorcycle manufacturers launching new two-wheeler connectivity systems in the market. For instance,

Bosch's rider assistance systems provide adaptive cruise control, forward collision systems, and blind-spot detection. Bosch claims that these systems can prevent one in seven accidents. This technology of Bosch will be adopted in bikes ranging from Ducati and KTM. Bosch is also developing connectivity systems that will alert two-wheelers on the network about the speed and position of other vehicles. This system would be very useful during low visibility situations and blind corners. In case of an accident, an emergency call feature will automatically notify emergency services with GPS coordinates of the bike.

Audi and Ducati jointly showcased C-V2X technology as part of the Ducati 2025 roadmap. The technology performs intersection collision warning, cross-traffic turn collision risk warning, and warning in case of sudden braking of the vehicle ahead.
